My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.
From Blythe Danner
For a woman who's a widow and pretty much a loner, I can walk out, and I'm surrounded by NYU kids. The energy jumps off the sidewalks, and I never feel sad or bored.
I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.
Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.
I don't read critics, and I don't care what they say. You can't let them steal your soul. You do what the director and production is committed to doing. I just think it's terrible that critics have the power to keep people away from a good production.
I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.
I've kept my sanity in this business by trying out for a role and then going home and trying to forget about it.
I live in New York, and when you're older and widowed, it's a perfect place because you just don't feel lonely there, and, luckily, I like my own company, too.
My family was very musical. My brother is an opera singer; my parents both sang.
